The Edge of Oblivion

I can tell you that the edge of oblivion is a 
comforting place for the wise
Oblivious to the wondering eyes of the layman
that watch, things are seen just as they are
All it takes is a few steps on par with the others
& before you know it, you're in the void
At this point of no return, there's no space to
renig as you've come too far to turn back
You must now face the affronts perpetrated upon
the self as these acts of 
friendly fire help to destroy true identity
Quickly burn these bridges with a passion & prove
your affinity to the flame that 
spurred you to that point
The joint venture was sparked by the light & dark
parts of you
in order for both to get the others
point of view
It's the edge that shows us who we are inside
& who we need to be
if only we're willing to take those steps
to be free
You see, the inner eye never lies but it can be
deceived by eyes on the outside
looking in
I invite you to go within & look upon oblivion
with eyes steeped in truth,
as this is where all truth lies & all bets are hedged
If there's one place you can visit to find yourself
it's oblivions edge
for losing yourself completely in its nothingness
allows you to embrace its true essence
which is wholeness
